Touch Of Happyness

Poems

yesterday I had a dream,

Dream, all over me today

It was fresh and serene,

like the silent morning stream

like the first golden ray

lighting world to life from gray 

 

I could see an old man

looking high at sky

feeling the cold breeze

and reliefing his pain

I could see new hopes 

in his darkening sparking eyes

forgetting and forgiving the world

I could see him rise

 

I could hear the clouds say

"this is an old thirsty man

asking for happiness which got away"

As the first drop of water,

touches his forehead,

bringing back the joy which got swayed.

With his arms wide,

He welcomed the rain

I could a see a boy 

emerging from an old man.

 

I could see that old man nowhere

but a boy flying in the air

I could see him talking

and singing with birds

such a beautiful sight, and no words.

 

Alas, all the happiness and

all the joy seems to go.

I could see the birds going home,

winds start becoming storm, more colder,

to my surprise,

the boy's again getting older.

No more sparkle no more hopes

He started walking down the road,

leaving behind his chidhood days 

with his loneliness speaking again aloud

and with darkening eyes, increasing weigh

I could see him getting lost in the crowd.
